Dear colleagues

Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Javier

Asin and Jeann Leal.

Please peruse these pages to find information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages.

While CLIIC is starting next week, keep in mind that POLA is coming soon and registration is still open. We keep working hard in the design of our Foundations

of Pathology course. These are the words of President Koehler about it:

“We are continuing to work on our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with

you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret

IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and help keep you from

making mistakes we have seen people make. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, in whatever residency program you

are in. The course will include a virtual component and an in-person component at the annual ACVP meeting. A detailed course schedule and registration link

will be coming in the next few weeks so check the website frequently!”

Also new this year is the "Just in Time Mock Exams", two full days of mock exams dedicated to aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists, presented by a

great team of experienced pathologists.

Finally, if you are doing necropsies of racehorses, consider attending the 3-day Racehorse Necropsy Workshop, a hands-on course, this year co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, the organization that is regulating horse racing in the US.

Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.

Warm regards
